But I pray you, let me answer you, doth not Christ say that
before the latter day the sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood? Whereof what may the meaning be,
but that the glorious sun of the gospel shall be eclipsed with
the dim cloud of dissimulation, that that which is the brightest
planet of salvation shall be a means of error and darkness, and
the moon shall be turned into blood, those that shine fairest,
make the simplest show, seem most to favour religion, shall
rent out the bowels of the church, be turned into blood, and
all this shall come to pass before the notable day of the Lord
whereof this age is the eve?
